Art Cart: Make Your Own Mona

Do you like to be silly? Lean into your silly side with an artist who loved pranks, Marcel Duchamp! Find the Art Cart on the Third Level and pick up your materials. Get inspired by Duchamp’s L.H.O.O.Q and make your own Mona Lisa!

Do this at home! Artist Tony Lewis loved Calvin and Hobbes when he was a boy. Inspired by a love of the “funny pages,” his artwork repurposes old comics into poems. Try this at-home art project with the funny pages! Create.

Four pieces of paper varying in size are overlaid. Three of the pieces appear to be comic strips. The  images on all four pieces of paper have been covered using a mixture of ink and paper.

Until we can gather for Storytime again, the Art Cart offers young artists (best for ages 6 and under) themed sets of materials. Each week’s Art Cart offers a fresh and fun theme featuring an artwork on view, an art making activity to do at the Museum, and kids projects to extend the fun at home! The Art Cart is free, no registration required. Every Thursday, 10 am–12 pm

Stroller Parking is available on the Lower Level.
